Changing stroke rehab and research worldwide now.Time is Brain! trillions and trillions of neurons that DIE each day because there are NO effective hyperacute therapies besides tPA(only 12% effective). I have 523 posts on hyperacute therapy, enough for researchers to spend decades proving them out. These are my personal ideas and blog on stroke rehabilitation and stroke research. Do not attempt any of these without checking with your medical provider. Unless you join me in agitating, when you need these therapies they won't be there.

What this blog is for:

My blog is not to help survivors recover, it is to have the 10 million yearly stroke survivors light fires underneath their doctors, stroke hospitals and stroke researchers to get stroke solved. 100% recovery. The stroke medical world is completely failing at that goal, they don't even have it as a goal. Shortly after getting out of the hospital and getting NO information on the process or protocols of stroke rehabilitation and recovery I started searching on the internet and found that no other survivor received useful information. This is an attempt to cover all stroke rehabilitation information that should be readily available to survivors so they can talk with informed knowledge to their medical staff. It lays out what needs to be done to get stroke survivors closer to 100% recovery. It's quite disgusting that this information is not available from every stroke association and doctors group.

Delray Medical Center & St. Mary's Medical Center(Palm Beach, FL) Receive Additional Comprehensive Stroke Center Certifications

 

Big fucking whoopee.

 

 But you tell us NOTHING ABOUT RESULTS. They remind us they 'care' about us  but never tell us how many 100% recovered.

Three measurements will tell me if the stroke hospital is possibly not completely incompetent; DO YOU MEASURE ANYTHING?

  1. tPA full recovery? Better than 12%?
  2. 30 day deaths? Better than competitors?
  3. rehab full recovery? Better than 10%?

 

You'll want to know results so call that hospital president(Whoever that is) and demand to know what the RESULTS are for; tPA efficacy, 30 day deaths, 100% recovery. Because there is no point in going to that hospital if they are not willing to publish results.

The invalid chest thumping here:

Delray Medical Center & St. Mary's Medical Center(Palm Beach, FL) Receive Additional Comprehensive Stroke Center Certifications

The Palm Beach Health Network is the only hospital system with two comprehensive stroke centers in Palm Beach County to receive this certification 
 
August 24th 2020 - Delray Medical Center and St. Mary’s Medical Center, part of the Palm Beach Health Network, are now certified from an additional agency for its comprehensive stroke programs.  DNV GL-Healthcare awarded the new certification to both Delray Medical Center and St. Mary’s Medical Center for their comprehensive stroke care, a prestigious designation reflecting the highest level of competence for treatment of patients who have experienced a stroke.  The Palm Beach Health Network is the only hospital system in Palm Beach County with two comprehensive stroke centers, and both are designated with this certification. 
 
“This recognition is confirmation that Delray Medical Center and St. Mary’s Medical Center continues to provide the highest quality stroke care in Palm Beach County, and we are encouraging the community to know the stroke warning signs, and to seek treatment immediately instead of delaying care,” said Maggie Gill, chief executive officer of the Palm Beach Health Network and Delray Medical Center. “Our hospitals are safe, and we are ready to care for patients suffering from strokes, and who have other chronic and new illnesses that require immediate medical attention.” 
 
The DNV GL - Healthcare Comprehensive Stroke Center Certification is based on standards set forth by the Brain Attack Coalition and the American Stroke Association, and affirm that Delray Medical Center and St. Mary’s Medical Center address the full spectrum of stroke care - diagnosis, treatment, rehabilitation and education - and establishes clear metrics to evaluate outcomes.
 
“Both Delray and St. Mary’s Medical Centers have thoroughly demonstrated a high-level of care for patients experiencing a potentially life-altering stroke,” said Cynthia McCauley, chief executive officer for St. Mary’s Medical Center & the Palm Beach Children’s Hospital.  “We are excited to receive these recognitions honoring our teams for the work they do to serve the healthcare needs in the communities we serve.” 
 
Comprehensive stroke centers are known to be the largest and best-equipped hospitals in a given geographical area, and are designed to treat any kind of stroke or stroke complication. A stroke center certification determines which facility a patient is taken to for the most appropriate care when a stroke occurs.  Both hospitals are part of the Advanced Neuroscience Network (ANN).  For more information on our comprehensive stroke centers, go to www.delraymedicalctr.com and www.stmarysmc.com.
